The street has cars parked many times of day infront of shop, businesses, school run causing dangerous driving and crossing conditions. The pavement is too narrow with an adverse camber for wheelchairs.
The run off from proposed houses could flood houses near the Beck and pollutants would destroy the common spotted orchid. The main drain can't cope.
The site is not visually contained to residents of School Lane and St Marys Close, many of these are the oldest in the village and part of its heritage.
The massive increase in traffic pollution would effect life outcomes of all residents.
Any development should be 1-2% of current housing. This proposal is a 16% increase of village . It would not be easily absorbed. The housing should be linear in keeping with the village. What's needed is homes for first time buyers, bungalows for the elderly and social housing. But to let and second homes should be banned and any housing should be climate future proofed with solar, e.v sockets and heat pumps. We do not need anymore executive homes as we have plenty already in Bee orchid way.
